IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ScoutII balances are sensitive, precision devices and when shipped, occasionally require calibration before they are used. The balances are calibrated at the factory and due to rough handling and vibration during shipping, the balance may display an ERR1 or ERR4 when first turned on. This does not mean that the balance is defective. We recommend you perform span calibration for an ERR1 indication and linear calibration for ERR4 before you call for service. If the balance does not span calibrate, try linear calibration. Linear calibration requires two masses to be used. The 200g, 400g and 600g balances are shipped with one mass, you will require a second mass which can be ordered ordered from from Ohaus. Ohaus.1200g, 1200g and 6000g balances arenot notshipped shippedwith withmasses. masses. be 4000g and 6000g units are Refer to the accessory table at the rear of the manual for the required calibration masses. Review the Menu and then perform both Span and Linear calibration. Span calibration does not require entering the Menu. Linear calibration (LIN) does require entering the Menu.

TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM No Display. PROBABLE CAUSE Power Adapter not connected. Battery is dead. BAT Indicator is on. Incorrect weight reading. Battery is weak. Balance out of calibration. Balance was not rezeroed before weighing. Calibration procedures do not work. Unable to display weight in a particular weighing unit. Balance won't store selections made in menu. Incorrect calibration masses being used. Weighing unit not activated in menu. REMEDY Connect AC Adapter.
PARTS COUNTING
Parts counting must first be activated in the Units Menu to use it. Refer to Menu section to activate parts counting. The balance will count parts based on the weight of a reference sample of 5, 10, 20 or 50 parts. For optimum results, the parts should be uniform in weight. 1. Place a container on the pan and press ReZero On to tare it. 2. Press and hold ReZero On until is displayed, then release it. The display shows SEt XX, where XX is the last used counting sample. To change the sample size, repeatedly press Mode Off and stop at the desired sample number. Choices are 5, 10, 20 or 50 pieces. 3. Add the selected number of parts to the container, then press ReZero On. The display shows the number of parts added. 4. Add parts as desired and read the quantity on the display. 5. To read the weight of the parts, press Mode Off to change to any of the activated weighing units. You can return to parts counting at any time by repeatedly pressing Mode Off until the parts counting indicator is displayed. Sample weight is retained as long as the balance remains on. 9
Replace battery. Replace battery. Calibrate the balance. Press ReZero On with no weight on the pan, then weigh item. Use correct masses. See error codes note. Use Units menu to set desired units ON (see menu). You must use END to

Error Codes
Err 0 Invalid checksum data. The balance may need recalibration, particularly linearity calibration. If the error persists after recalibration, the balance must be serviced. Err 1 Sample being weighed exceeds the capacity of the balance. If error occurs when the sample is within the balance capacity, balance may be incorrectly calibrated. An underload such as the pan off of the balance could also display Err1. Perform span calibration (one mass required). Err 4 Incorrect or no calibration mass used when performing calibration procedure. Error will flash momentarily, then balance will use previous calibration data. If balance fails to calibrate, call the service department or return for servicing. Err 5 Value is too large to display; exceeds 99999 counts. Possibly caused by an invalid parts counting sample. Err 6 Parts counting error - sample weighs <1d. Balance shows error then exits parts counting. Err 9 Internal data error. Return balance for servicing. NOTE : When the balance displays Err1 and Err4, perform linearity calibration. Linearity calibration requires two masses. If the balance does not calibrate after attempting linearity calibration, call Ohaus Service Department at 973 377-9000 or (800) 526-0659.
